Okay. Now back for the rest of the Day.

And this is just crazy.

Skip's maths probably work - in case he is an innocent and there are four evil-intended votes to come. But if he's not an innocent - and a wolf - and happy with the choices... that would be his best bet to kind of force us to lynch an innocent.

But even if there were four votes to come it is not the end of the game. I'm not sure if the wolves would be too happy to vote in concerto toDay as they'd still need to manage it toMorrow...

I'd suggest voting sooner rather than later. Last-minute voting flurries often end up with cross-posting and confusion. It'd be better, I think, to vote together now (or soon) instead of right at DL.

To me then...

It could be Lottie whom I have suspected a long time now and whom we have failed to lynch thus far.

It could be Skip whose acts toDay look wolvish - or at least suicidal-cobblerish.

Of others I'm not too sure about.


EDIT: X'd with two votes...

All right. I guess someone has to take the plunge.

There doesn't seem to be any support for going after Ozban, and neither Greenie nor Lottie look as bad as skip.

++skip

x/d with Boro, Greenie, skip, and Nog

Nogrod, the cobbler can sit back, wait and follow the wolves lead. They'd know each other toMorrow and be 4 against 3. It would be the end.

Simple solution. Tie the vote between Lottie and Skip and let this go to a coin-flip. My heavens both are you are going to be the death of me.

Okay. The last "appeals" by Skip - and the flood of votes - made it quite clear...

++ Skip

Let's see a wolf burn.

So it's make or break time.

Lottie or Skip, that's the question.

I've found Lottie suspicious the whole time, but toDay she looks a bit better, while with Skip it's the other way 'round.

Ok. That's it. If we go by toDay, with all the revelations and reactions, I think I have to say that:

++Skip

Looks the most evil of the two.

Actually, the fact that he forgot about Steve makes it less likely that they're packmates...

If you miss the number of baddies (the count, the number of them), how come you to a conclusion it was Steve he forgot?

Have I missed something?

Because he previously said that you and Ozzy were the remaining ordos.

P.S.: Boro's change of heart, from ignoring skip to coin-flipping is also worth of noting.

How can you be so sure in your pessimistic scenario that the cobbler will see who the wolves are?

Well, it's not that hard to tell at the moment...just follow Skip's lead, ala Boro - who, you'll recall, wanted us to ignore Skip instead of lynching him.

How do you "know" they are innocent? Because they haven't voted for you? Has it crossed your mind at all that an innocent might find your actions alarming too?

I suppose the cobbler could be missing his mark, Greenie. But I doubt it.

And Nogrod and Eonwe are the remaining ordos...

Argh! Still I don't regret it. I would have been lynched anyway had I not done my fake reveal, quite certain of that. But I am disappointed. If Wilwa had remained hidden we'd gotten a wolf today, or at least been in with a good chance of that. Now it's all over.

Good night!

At the moment, I'm thinking either Boro or Nog is the cobbler, and I'm leaning towards Boro. Thought you ought to know.

Also, don't vote me. Mkay?
